Former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies has reacted to the Cass Report into NHS gender services, criticising how "long" it took to implement the review.

Speaking to GB News, Davies said: "To be honest with you, I'm horrified it's taken this long for it to come out, and well done to you guys who've been highlighting it for such a long time.

"This evidence isn't new. It's been there for a long, long time. Lots of children could have been saved. The horrors of of medical intervention. It's been a very difficult topic to get listened to, you know, in a rational, respectful debate.

"And obviously then that reflects straight into sport as well. We've been fighting to just try to get fair sport for females. And that's really my area of expertise. I've now been battling with that for over nine years, since 2015, and I'm just about to go off and see the sports minister today. So I'm hopeful that we can actually protect the female category in sport as well."
